The County Court of Ripley county
at a meeting on Saturday 18th inst,
refused to issue dramshop licenses and
thus closed up the only saloon
in Doniphan. This action of the court
had tendency to rile the license peo-
pie, some of whom straightway pro-
ceeded to fill up on gallon whiskey and
take possession of the town. A tenn
porary bar, at which was placed jug
and cup, was erected In the street, and
the benzine was dished out free Of
charge to all who imbibed. AS soon
as one jug was emptied it was replaced
by filled one. The marshal attempt
ed to interfere with the merry-making
by arresting one of the most hilarious
of the jewellers, but he was frustrated
in his endeavors by the sheriff who
took him in charge. The following
Monday one or two of the parties were
taken before the Mayor and fined. We
should think Doniphanites would not
be especially struck on 'gallon houses"

1t is now stated that the st. Louis
Arkansas & Texas people have aban-
doned the idea of building their road
along the river. but will seek an en-.
trance into the city west of the Iron
Mountain railroad. In this event it is
not unlikely that the road will pass
through our county. The route Is a
feasible one and offers many induce
ments to the projectors. If this COM
pany refuses to take advantage thereof
they will doubtless, sooner or later,
have cause to regret their inability to
know a good thing when they see it.
